CATL Chocolate Battery Swap Discloses Network Plan: Over 3,000 Stations by End of 2026, Building an “11 Vertical and 9 Horizontal” Highway Backbone Network in 2027
CATL Chocolate Battery Swap disclosed its network plan: by the end of 2026, the number of battery swap stations nationwide is expected to exceed 3,000, covering nearly 216 cities, with stations findable within 10 minutes in more core urban areas; by 2027, highway battery swap stations will reach 1,000, forming an “11 Vertical and 9 Horizontal” backbone network, with a long-term target of 30,000 stations. A single station can provide up to 600 services per day, and most will be equipped with Shenxing supercharging piles and upgraded into integrated swap-supercharging stations, maintaining 99-second battery swap efficiency. Under the same land and power capacity, the service capacity per parking space is three times that of a standalone charging station, and the stations can also serve as distributed energy storage to participate in grid peak shaving, frequency regulation, and green power consumption.
